Co-limitation of plant primary productivity by nitrogen and phosphorus in a species-rich wooded meadow on calcareous soils (2005, background): “Although the criterion of Koerselman and Meuleman (1996) has been almost universally applied to various ecosystems, recent work demonstrates that the critical N/P values may be species- or ecosystem-specific (Güsewell et al., 2003b; Tomassen et al., 2003, 2004; Drenovsky and Richards, 2004).”
Responses of wetland graminoids to the relative supply of nitrogen and phosphorus (2004, background): “Increasing dry matter content of leaves would therefore suggest that their life span should be higher at high N:P supply ratios, but the opposite was suggested by growth experiments with wetland plants and by field experiments Bollens 2000; Gordon et al. 2001; Tomassen et al. 2003 .”
Expansion of invasive species on ombrotrophic bogs: desiccation or high N deposition? (2004, background): “vealed comparable effects of high N addition rates on the growth of Molinia and Betula (Tomassen et al. 2003).”
N : P ratios in terrestrial plants: variation and functional significance. (2004, background): “Because studies reporting detrimental effects of high N deposition on terrestrial vegetation have often not included measurements of P availability or P concentrations in plants, the role of P limitation in these effects is not yet sufficiently known (Tomassen et al., 2003; 2004).”
